Elizabeth Crawford (historian)

Flyer for the rally that became Black Friday, saved by Kate Frye and included in Campaigning for the Vote: Kate Parry Frye's Suffrage Diary, edited by Elizabeth Crawford.[1] Purple and green were colors of the movement.[2]

Elizabeth Crawford is a British author, historian and dealer in suffrage ephemera. She has been called the Suffrage Detective[3] and has written several "key works"[4] on the history of the suffrage movement in the United Kingdom including The Women’s Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide, Art and Suffrage: A Biographical Dictionary of Suffrage Artists, and The Women's Suffrage Movement in Britain and Ireland: A Regional Survey.

The Reference Guide, in particular, has been termed "indispensable."[5] Martin Pugh called the book, which includes 400 biographies and 800 entries on organizations, a "magnificent research tool and a great stimulus to professionals and amateurs alike."[6]
